The LIRR is working to improve communications with customers during service disruptions caused by severe storms. An important part of that effort is the posting of special Storm Recovery Timetables on our website.

The LIRR's train performance improved in 2011, with 93.71 percent of our trains operating on time. This represents nearly a full percentage point increase over 2010, when on-time performance (OTP) was 92.76 percent.

The 1,025 buses serving the Bronx will be the next to offer MTA Bus Time<sup>&#174;</sup>, a popular digital system that allows Staten Island customers to track the real-time location of buses via the Internet, smart phone or text message.

MTA Metro-North Railroad provided 82 million rides last year, up 1.4% over 2010, with ridership gains on all lines and in all markets from traditional AM inbound commutation to discretionary trips such as nights, weekends, middays and holidays.

The MTA continues to monitor operations following Saturday's storm. At this time there are no significant weather-related delays. Personnel have been deployed, snow-fighting equipment has been put into service to keep rails free of ice and snow, and bus tires have been chained for additional traction.

Can't quite make it to Killington, Vail, or Gstaad to ski? Try Patterson, New York - less than two hours from Grand Central Terminal. Metro-North makes it easy to get away for a day of winter fun and savings, too!
